e UK takes stand againstsweatshops

For the second year run-ning, UK Hoops has been se-lected as a No. 2 seed in theNCAA Tournament. The Catswill face No. 15 seed Navy inthe first round of the tourneyin Queens, N.Y.

“We’re excited to be in thetournament again and to get atwo-seed for the second yearin a row,” UK head coachMatthew Mitchell said. “Itshows you that the team ac-complished a lot over the sea-son and they’re consideredone of the top eight teams inthe country.”

Despite finishing secondin the SEC in both the regular

season and the SEC Tourna-ment in Duluth, Ga., the Catshave secured the No. 2 seed inthe Bridgeport, Conn. region,where Connecticut is the No.1 seed. The Huskies eliminat-ed the Cats from the tourna-ment last season.

“It would be great to play(Connecticut) again, becausethat would mean we were inthe final eight,” Mitchell said.“We would certainly be veryexcited to play in the EliteEight again. It’s going to be areal tough road. (There are)some real quality teams in ourbracket, but we definitelylearned a lot from that gamelast year.”

At the head of the Cats’cause is senior guard A’dia

Mathies, the repeat SEC Co-Player of the Year, who hasbrought 15.9 points per gameand 40.8 percent three-pointshooting to the court for UKthis season. In the SEC, Math-ies averaged 18.2 points pergame, and she has been named

as one of 15 John R. WoodenAward finalists. The award isgiven to the national player ofthe year.

The UK Fine Arts Building could be the nextaquatic center after damage caused by a pipe linebreak Monday outraged Fine Arts students.

The students are now looking at administrationto take action.

Administrators say the cause of the break canbe attributed to the age and constant use of thebuilding.

This is not the first flood the Fine Arts Build-ing has seen. In 2010 and 2011, the building expe-rienced flooding which left the building filled withwater and debris.

“The Fine Arts Building is nearly 65 years old,so it is not uncommon for buildings of that age toexperience stress on its infrastructure in the formof a burst pipe or waterline,” UK Public Relationsand Marketing Executive Director Jay Blantonsaid.

Associate Dean Geraldine Maschio of the Col-lege of Fine Arts said the water from the breakleaked into a few restrooms and some faculty of-fices, but a YouTube video uploaded Monday af-ternoon by a group of fine arts students paint a dif-ferent picture of the damage caused.

In the video, a “waterfall” showered from thevent and dripped out of the light fixture of a rest-room in the Fine Arts Building and flooded thefloor as a group of students looked on in disbe-lief.

“I saw it in person and it’s frustrating. Newconstructions like the Gatton building, and all ofthe new renovations are taking place, but Fine Artsget nothing. Our building is literally falling apart,and nothing is being done,” music education juniorJacob Carpenter said.

Carpenter uploaded an image of the “water-fall”, but said his intention is not to push the presi-dent, but to create awareness of the state of thebuilding.

Fine Arts floodraises questions

Kentucky basketball fans may have foundthemselves frustrated and disappointed with thisseason’s outcome and the team’s failure to makethe NCAA tournament. But, will they still supportthe Cats in their attempt to advance in this years’NIT tournament?

While Rupp Arena has its hands full hostingthe NCAA tournament, the Cats will travel to playthe No. 8 Robert Morris Colonials on their turf atthe Charles L. Sewall Center in Moon Township,Pa., outside Pittsburg.

It’s a six-hour drive from Lexington to the Se-wall Center to capture one of its 3,056 seats.

ISC senior Jay Lawless said he would be at-tending the first round game Tuesday, March 19 at7:30 p.m.

“Luckily, they scheduled the game to not inter-fere with most classes,” Lawless said. “I think fanswill show up. They always do.”

A student lottery was not provided, but ticketsare available to fans by calling the Robert Morristicket office at (412) 397-4949. The game willalso be televised on ESPN.

“We placed a bid to host both the second roundand quarterfinal games at Rupp Arena if we ad-vance.” said DeWayne Peevy, UK Executive Asso-ciate Athletics Directory.

Kinesiology junior Connor Gifford expresseddoubts Rupp Arena would be filled if UK playedan NIT game at home.

“I think they should have it in Memorial Coli-seum. I don’t think Rupp will be full like usual.I’m personally not making watching the Cats ahuge priority like I usually do,” Gifford said.

UK played against UNLV in 2009 during itslast visit to the NIT. The game was held in Memo-rial Coliseum with its 9,000 seating capacitypacked to watch the Cats win 70-60.

“We still have hope. I think fans are lookingfor reconciliation. It’s still a tournament and wewant something to be proud of this season, even ifit’s a NIT title,” Gifford said.

Will fans go to NIT?

After falling short of ac-complishing two main goals —

winning boththe SEC regu-lar season andtournament ti-tles — UKHoops is nowstaring downits last chancefor glory thisseason.

When thebracket wasa n n o u n c e dM o n d a ynight, and UK

was awarded a No. 2 seed, that

chance for glory looked plausi-ble.

The Cats’ draw is a favor-able one.

Waiting in the secondround will be either No. 7seed Dayton or No. 10 seedSt. John’s. Dayton sports animpressive 27-2 record, butonly one of those wins cameagainst a ranked team. TheFlyers beat No. 25 DePaul onNov. 10 in the second game ofthe season.

St. John’s hasn’t defeated aranked team all season, but hashad narrow losses against qual-ity teams in the Big East. The

Red Storm has 3-point and 7-point losses to No. 5 seedLouisville only lost to No. 1seed Connecticut by six points.Should St. John’s advance,they could give UK a toughermatchup, but MatthewMitchell and company havehandled teams of such caliberall season long.

They are paired with ar-guably the weakest No. 3 seedin North Carolina, as opposedto other No. 3 seeds TexasA&M, Penn State and UCLA,all who were ranked higherthan the Tar Heels in the lastpoll before the bracket’s re-lease.

A potential test for UKawaits UK if No. 6 seed

Delaware upsets UNC and ad-vances to the Sweet 16. TheBlue Hens are 30-3 on the sea-son, having won their last 25games. All-American juniorElena Delle Donne is second inthe nation in scoring at 25.3points per game and is one ofthe top players in the country.Six-foot-five and versatile, shecould pose matchup problemsfor UK. However, the BlueHens ran through a weak Colo-nial Athletic Association andmay not be battled-testedenough to outlast the Cats,should they even make it thatfar.

A cryptic UK basketballseason takes yet anotherstrange turn Tuesday as theCats open play in the NIT onthe road against Robert Morrisin Moon Township, Pa.

The overwhelming sense is

that if the Cats simply want tocontinue to play, they can de-feat the Colonials and return tohost a second-round game inRupp Arena.

UK head coach John Cali-pari hyped Robert Morris theway coaches generally do be-fore a game, accentuating theirstrengths and focusing on the

things they do that could givethe Cats trouble.

"They are a bunch of toughplayers and tough guys," Cali-pari said. "Scramble and shootthrees. Nine steals a game. Alot like Arkansas."

There is a reason the Colo-nials were a No. 8 seed in theNIT, however. They are a 10-loss team from the NortheastConference. The Cats defeatedtheir only opponent from theNortheast Conference, LIUBrooklyn 104-75. Robert

Morris defeated LIU Brooklyn60-57 in their only matchup ofthe season.

The Blackbirds reboundedfrom those losses well, howev-er, and won the Northeast Con-ference Tournament and beginplay in the NCAA tourneyWednesday.

The transitive property isrelatively useless, especiallywhen used with this group ofCats.

NEW YORK — Alexandra Patsavas islooking to the past to influence the musicaltastes of future generations.

Patsavas, the music supervisor behind the“Twilight Saga” movies and TV series rangingfrom “Grey’s Anatomy” and “The O.C.” to“Scandal” and “Mad Men,” has already helpedlaunch the careers of The Fray and PhantomPlanet, while also helping popularize a genre ofearnest, lyrics-driven indie rock.

Now, working as the music supervisor forthe new CW series “The Carrie Diaries,” theprequel to “Sex and the City” set in the early‘80s, Patsavas is bringing the music of herteenage years to a whole new generation ofteens.

“I was in high school in the ‘80s, and Idefinitely have a personal connection to thismusic,” she says. “I think teenagers of all ageswill enjoy hearing some of these great hits, aswell as some of the lesser-known gems of theera.”

If you were wondering why teens are sud-

denly playing The Go-Go’s and The Carsalongside Justin Bieber and Pink, “The CarrieDiaries” offers the answer.

Patsavas balks at the idea that TV place-ments are replacing radio as the most powerfulway to introduce people to music. “It’s verydifferent,” she says. “It’s the repetition of ra-dio versus that emotional, visceral connection,hearing something the first time in an impor-tant point in the story.”

Integrating the right song into the rightscene to magnify the emotional impact for bothis something Patsavas does repeatedly. Shesays she was influenced by the movies of JohnHughes in the ‘80s, where the director usedmusic in a similar way, launching huge hits forSimple Minds and the Psychedelic Furs.

“I’m very connected to those movies, andI was enthralled by how many new songs Iwas introduced to,” she says, adding: “I want-ed to be Molly Ringwald.”

said he realizes the FineArts Building is not the onlybuilding that needs renova-tions, but that the state ofthe building is a testamentto the schools feelings to-wards the college’s success.

“I came to UK as anout-of-state student, but Icame for the faculty not thebuilding. The music pro-gram here is in the top-20programs in the U.S. Whenother out-of-state studentscome to this school — somefrom around the world —they see the building and itmakes people not want tostay. This hurts UK becausethey are losing great musi-cians,” Smith said. “Build-ings that are not in as bad ofshape are being renovatedas people donate money to

buildings that are not as badoff. When are we going toput an emphasis on the pro-grams that are really suc-ceeding?”

A side-by-side compari-son of building code testsreveal the state of the FineArts Building in comparisonto other buildings on cam-pus. The Fine Arts Building,Gatton Business and Eco-nomics building and WhiteHall Classroom Buildingwere all tested between Au-gust 2012 and January2013.

National Fire ProtectionAssociation inspectionsshow each building receivesclose to the same results ontheir last inspection. How-ever, the Fine Arts Build-ing’s alarm system was not-ed as “addressable.”

Elevator Safety testswere conducted in Augustof last year. All buildingstested well, except the

White Hall ClassroomBuilding and the Fine ArtsBuilding. Both elevators re-ceived marks for malfunc-tioning buttons and WhiteHall had a malfunctioningalarm system.

Blanton said the schoolsupports the college, andthat students’ concern theschool does not put forthmoney for the College ofFine Arts overlooks the mil-lions of dollars in invest-ments made in the collegealready.

“We are in the processof decommissioning theReynolds Building for theArt Department and con-verting thousands of squarefeet on Bolivar into high-quality space for the collegeand the arts department.That represents an invest-ment of millions of dollars.It would be incorrect to sug-gest that Fine Arts is notpart of that investment,”

Blanton said. “As to other building

projects, the Chem-PhysBuilding and the GattonCollege are the second andthird most utilized buildingson campus by students. In atime of constrained re-sources with the economy,we have to earn our wayforward, finding ways onour own to both chart ourfuture and revitalize ourcampus core.”

Smith said what theyachieve in the College ofFine Arts is equally as im-portant as achievementsfrom any other college oncampus.

“What we do in the Col-lege of Fine Arts — thesculptures and what not —if you take away the thingsFine Arts do, a big part ofcampus life is gone andpeople don’t understandthat. The least we ask is fora building,” Smith said.

Cats Cruisercould get

redesigned

Reevaluation is takingplace for UK’s free escortsystem, Cats Cruiser.

Student Government islooking into a program fromthe University of South Car-olina, the Carolina Cab,which has been successfulsince 2006. The replacementprogram, based off of the Car-olina Cab, is shaping the fu-ture Cats Cruiser.

Cats Cruiser would pickstudents up within a five-mileradius of the UK StudentCenter. Students are requiredto show their ID to allow afree ride for five miles.  

New Circle Road is thebarrier of the area a studentcan travel for free. The cab’smeter will start after surpass-ing New Circle and studentswill pay the fee accordingly.  

As the service stands now,students with ID’s can load abus for free and take one offour fixed routes close tocampus.  Busses circulateevery 20 to 30 minutes from10 p.m. to 3 a.m.

Through the reevaluatedCats Cruiser, students wouldbe picked up at a specific lo-cation and may only receive aride home.

"This is not going to take

you to Qdoba or another loca-tion downtown. This will justtake you home,” SG PresidentStephen Bilas said.

Cats Cruiser cannot take astudent from the library totheir car in K lot according toBilas. To ensure the student issafe, the ride is purely a rideto a house.

An issue of concern isstudents using Cats Cruiser toattend house parties.

"If you have 100 to 150people going to one resi-dence, it is obviously going tobe a red flag. And we can’tavoid that, but we can adaptthis program,” Bilas said.

The Cats Cruiser is awork in progress and is notcomplete, Bilas stressed, buthe believes this a better andsafer alternative for students.

"[Cats Cruiser] has a lotof adaptability. We can seewhen and where students aregoing,” he said. “We can seethe data and accommodate theneeds to where students are.”

Cats Cruiser may be ap-proved by the senate at theend of the semester to pursuea contract or be approved inthe budget for next year ac-cording to Bilas.

The estimated time forCats Cruiser to be accessibleis for the 2013 or 2014 aca-demic year.

“Don’t know muchabout Navy except for oneof our former players is anassistant coach there. I re-ally admire what JenerrieHarris has been able to do,as she has been able torise through the profes-sion,” Mitchell said.“Clearly they’ve done agreat job to be in the tour-nament, so we will be pre-pared to investigate every-thing we can about them

and find out what we facehere in this first roundgame.”

Seven SEC teams madethe tournament in all, in-cluding UK, No. 8 seedVanderbilt, No. 2 seed Ten-nessee, No. 3 seed TexasA&M, No. 4 seed SouthCarolina, No. 4 seed Geor-gia and No. 6 seed LSU.

Hot start for UK offense has slowly subsided

For quality ranked teams,March is thecontinuationof a five-month jour-ney. The sea-son starts tostretch on inMarch, asthe promiseof openingday is wellbehind, andthe excite-ment ofpostseason

play is well in the distance.In the case of UK base-

ball, through 19 games, their

play in March has revealedtheir identity.

The Cats are made up ofstrong pitching.

UK's bullpen, made up ofseveral young hurlers, seniorWalt Wijas and record-settingjunior closer Trevor Gott, hascontinued the streak ofgames where the Cats havewon after holding a lead inthe seventh inning.

The starting pitching hassurprised no one and stillstands out in its dominance.UK's weekend starters (A.J.Reed, Jerad Grundy, CoreyLittrell) have a combinedearned run average of 2.51,

and none of the three haveERAs over 3.00. Those threepitchers are veterans in theSEC and should continue tobe the backbone of the team.

The Cats are made up ofvery good defense.

UK’s defense is fifth indouble plays and errors andtied for fifth in fielding per-centage in the conference.Before Friday’s three-erroraberration versus Florida, theCats only committed two er-rors in eight games.

But the very differencein a regional defeat in Juneand the fulfilling of presea-son expectations lie within

the success of the UK of-fense.

The Cats have gottencontinued production fromReed and centerfielder AustinCousino. Reed brings power,leading the team in homeruns (five), extra base hits(10) and slugging (.671),while Cousino is an all-around offensive threat evi-denced by his 7-for-13 week-end against Florida with ahome run, double, four runsbatted in and three stolenbases.

But when the rest of thelineup fails to produce, aswas the case Friday at Flori-da, where Cousino and Reedcombined for all four hits ina 4-1 loss, the Cats struggle.

The statistics say themagic number for UK is six.

The Cats are 2-3 whenthey produce five runs orless, all against BCS-confer-ence competition. The Catsare 14-0 when they score sixor more runs.

UK has averaged 7.84runs per game, which is thebest run average in the SEC.But a look inside the num-bers shows the thin line forthe Cats lineup.

UK is tied for eighth intotal hits and has been for-tunate to accumulate 14home runs against weakcompetition, the third high-est total in the conference.Infielder Max Kuhn is twofor his last 20 at-bats, slid-ing his batting averagedown 74 points.

Kuhn is not the onlyplayer struggling at the

plate. Shortstop Matt Reidahas four hits in his last 23at-bats and is now batting.234, as is outfielder ZacZellers, who has hovered be-low .250 for the last severalweeks while batting primari-ly in the vital second spot inthe lineup.

The Cats’ identity iscoming together. Whether theoffense will keep up with theother facets of the game is ananswer for warmer weatherand bigger stages.

UK hosts Western Ken-tucky on Tuesday at CliffHagan Stadium. The Hilltop-pers are 10-9 on the seasonand are winners of their lastthree, sweeping Middle Ten-nessee State in BowlingGreen. First pitch is slatedfor 6:30 p.m.

Cats’ pitching has been stellar, butoffense must keep pace

Vanderbilt Friday night inNashville, a return to theNCAA tourney was all butassured.

But the Cats defied alllogic and were blown out bya team without enough winsto even qualify for the NIT— in an arena packed withmore than 15,000 rabid blue-clad faithful.

If they want the winTuesday, it is theirs for thetaking. Tennessee head coachCuonzo Martin said that thekey for all three SEC teams

competing in the NIT is to befocused from the start of thegame.

"It is emotionally taxingwhen you feel like you de-serve to get in (the NCAA),but you don't get in. Now it isa matter of getting your guysup to play," Martin said. “Ifyour guys decide to startplaying the game with five orsix minutes left to play, it isprobably too late."

Are the Cats capable ofgiving that level of effortfrom the tipoff to the finalhorn? They were in late-sea-son victories at Rupp againstMissouri and Florida, butthey surely didn't in losses to

Georgia, Arkansas and mostrecently Vandy.

“This team could be asgood as they want to be,"Calipari said. "We could havebacked into the tournament,we didn't. Now we have to goon the road and play, which isa good thing for us.

If you want to keep theseason going, then let's go.Keep it going.”

If the Cats play well andearn the win, they will host asecond round game Sunday at5 p.m. at Rupp Arena, a dayafter in-state arch-rivalLouisville would play a sec-ond round NCAA game inthe very same building, as-

suming the Cards outlast theirNo. 16 seed opponent Thurs-day.

The strange season couldjust keep getting stranger, orit could all end Tuesday night

— depending on the Cats ef-fort and mindset. Your guessis as good as mine.

Eight, where UK could faceConnecticut in a rematch oflast year’s Elite Eight, wherethe Huskies prevailed 80-65in Kingston, R.I.

The game, should bothteams advance, would againbe played in UConn’s back-

yard, i.e. Bridgeport, Conn.But the Huskies have lookedto be the most vulnerable ofthe No. 1 seeds, droppingfour games on the year, threeto fellow No. 1 seed NotreDame.

UConn is still a dauntingchallenge, but UK is bettersuited to go toe-to-toe withGeno Auriemma’s team. Lastyear’s Cats didn’t have dy-namic point guard Jennifer

O’Neill or reliable post pres-ence DeNesha Stallworth,who could make a differenceshould the teams meet onceagain.

Should the Cats handletheir business and avenge aloss on the way, they mayvery well find themselves cel-ebrating a trip to New Or-leans, a locale that’s broughtUK fans plenty joy within thelast year.
